Answer 2

(a ) 1.25 times.

(b) 0.8 times.

Explanation:

We have been given that Joseph uses 30 grams of sugar and 24 grams of butter.

(a) To find the amount of sugar is how many times the amount of butter, we need to find 30 is what part of 24.

`(30)/(24)=(5)/(4)=1.25`

Therefore, the amount of sugar is 1.25 times the amount of butter.

(b) To find the amount of butter is how many times the amount of sugar, we need to find 24 is what part of 30.

`(24)/(30)=(4)/(5)=0.8`

Therefore, the amount of butter is 0.8 times the amount of sugar.
